This sandbox will go over the various properities of waves and an application for each.
Doppler Effect- The apparent change of frequency due to the speed of an obect. A typical example of this is a fire truck as it approaches you and passes. The frequency changes as it approaches and passes.Physlets - This physlet provids an animated description of the Doppler Effect
Resonance- Every object has it's own natural frequency. Please click on the following video which shows what can happen when object starts to resonate.
Interference- When two waves approach each other they can experience constructive or destructive interference. Please click on the link, interference, which shows what happens when two waves meet.
Diffraction- The bending of a wave around a fixed object. Please click on the following link, diffraction.
Refraction- The bending on light as it travels from one median to the next. Please complete the following table for light traveling from air to water.
